The History and Architecture of Tlatelolco

Tlatelolco is a historical and architectural treasure in the bustling metropolis of Mexico City. This area was once the major pre-Columbian city of the Valley of Mexico, with a population of over 60,000 people. The ancient ruins and structures serve as a testament to its once grand past. The modern buildings in this area have a unique blend of brutalist and modernist architecture, creating a stark contrast to the pre-Columbian structures. While wandering through the streets, I also discovered murals by renowned artists such as Diego Rivera and David Alfaro Siqueiros, adding a cultural and artistic aspect to the area. The history and architecture of Tlatelolco come together to create an unparalleled experience for visitors.
